Geophysical report
Any mentioned solar flare in this report has a scaling factor applied by the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). Because of the SWPC scaling factor, solar flares are reported as 42% smaller than for the science quality data. The scaling factor has been removed from our archived solar flare data to reflect the true physical units.

Joint USAF/NOAA Solar and Geophysical Activity Summary
SGAS Number 012 Issued at 0245Z on 12 Jan 2002 This report is compiled from data received at SWO on 11 JanA. Energetic Events
Begin Max End Rgn Loc Xray Op 245MHz 10cm Sweep None
B. Proton Events
The greater than 10 MeV proton event that began
at 10/2045 utc, reached a tentative maximum of 91 pfu at 11/0530
UTC. The flux is slowly declining.
C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary
The geomagnetic field was at
unsettled to active levels, due to a high speed solar wind stream.
